Brilliant bronze for GB. That was pretty great even if they did get demoted! Harry and Wills looked rather chuffed too.

The bronze medal winning British men's artistic gymnastics team have been talking to the BBC:

Daniel Purvis: "If someone said before the competition we'd get a bronze I wouldn't believe them, just to get a bronze is a dream come true. Getting a bronze is unbelievable."

Max Whitlock: "Everyone has done an amazing job, everyone worked so hard for this. To do this in a home games is incredible."
Louis Smith: "We'd have been happy with anything, to get a medal is unbelievable. It has been such a journey for us to get here. I would like to say a big thanks to our reserves, they have pushed us on and we did them proud."
Kristian Thomas: "It was fantastic, and to do it in front of a the home crowd here in London… It is a once in a lifetime experience and we've made most of it. I'd like to give full credit to our team, coaches and everyone back home."

GYMNASTICS (16:30 - 18:57): Dan Purvis, men's all-around

Following Britain's superb bronze medal in the team event, Purvis is a genuine medal contender in the individual all-around event after finishing fourth at last year's World Championships and qualifying in fifth in London. Team-mate Kristian Thomas made it through in 10th place.

Japan's brilliant Kohei Uchimura is the favourite to land gold, having won three consecutive World titles since taking silver in Beijing.
